Hello , it's me

I have a MacMini.. that has a nice disk stuck.. I dont want any button combinations at start up cos they dont work for me ... and the mouse click doesnt either

Anyways resulted to taking the case off ... and now i can't unscrew the cd lid thingie so can't just lift it out..

So only option is to pull it out manually.. any ideas how? I've tried yanking it out but it simply doesn't work

And it's so close to getting thrown under the next bus on my road..

Thanks
